No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Purescreen+ Mineral Invisible Daily Defense Face Liquid SPF 30's listed ingredients.

Is Purescreen+ Mineral Invisible Daily Defense Face Liquid SPF 30 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Purescreen+ Mineral Invisible Daily Defense Face Liquid SPF 30's listed ingredients.
